BWC External Training Guidelines

FY18 rebate-rebate eligible employers may earn credit for up to two of the ten required meetings through attendance at BWC's Division of Safety & Hygiene (DSH) safety training courses or industry-specific training.

It is the employer's responsibility to submit external training certificates to the safety council sponsor as they are earned, no later than June 30, 2018.

Upon submission by the employer, the safety council sponsor will send a copy of the external training certificate to DSH. If the external training does not meet the appropriate criteria, employers will be notified immediately.

The employer name and BWC policy number should be noted on the certificate.

External training certificates received from the employer beyond the June 30, 2018 deadline date will not qualify for rebate eligibility credit.

Group Rating Safety Accountability

The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, BWC has requested that I provide our members with their letter regarding Group-Rating Safety Accountability. This letter contains information for those who are currently enrolled in either their Group-Rating Program or the Group-Retrospective Program and for those employers who may be considering enrolling in either of these Programs in the future. These BWC Programs provide another opportunity to eligible employers to obtain a reduction in their Workers' Compensation premiums and at the same time work with the Safety Council and Frank Gates our TPA to improve safety in their workplace. If you have questions or would like additional information about these Programs, you may contact our office at (216) 621-0059 or by email at gcsafetyc@ameritech.net.
